摘要
This study examines parental participation in children's schooling. Using a survey of parents of children attending a majority Hispanic school district, we employ exploratory factor analysis and determine that standard forms of participation align along two dimensions: Involvement and Engagement. Analysis reveals a third dimension: Parental Community. The data suggest that income but not educational attainment influence Involvement, whereas family circumstances correlate best with Engagement. Households with the closest proximity to a Spanish-language/immigrant culture feel the strongest sense of Parental Community. The findings may inform the design of programming to help involve parents more fully in their children's schooling.
